- I agree with this assessment; Calligrapher is a first-class document processor
- IMHO (I can't agree with it being entirely "crash-proof", but how much
- software is?).

- The ability to use standard GDOS fonts is in my view very important for any ST
- word-processor. I was therefore disappointed to find that amongst the
- features listed in the new version of Calligrapher is the abandonment of
- support for GEM bitmap fonts. I phoned Working Title to check this recently
- but the person I spoke to seemed not to be in a communicative frame of mind,
- so I can only guess at the reason for this change.
